Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that he struggled with the weather when he first arrived in Saudi Arabia.

Ronaldo who joined Al-Nassr after his turbulent Manchester United exit said the hit in Saudi Arabia can hit extreme levels.

He noted that sometimes the heat crosses the 40-degree centigrade mark, which forces training sessions to be held in the evenings.

"The biggest difference I have found in Saudi is obviously the heat and adapting schedules to train later in the day when it is cooler," he said to LiveScore. "But I have really gotten used to that now.

Meanwhile, the 38-year-old has revealed he could own a football club when he retires from the game.

"I don't rule out becoming a club owner," Ronaldo told reporters during an event in Madrid for his new bottled water business venture.

"It's something I thought about a few years back. I probably would like to own a [football] club. I'm at the end of my career, two to three years maximum."
